Features: Gould takes us behind the scenes of "common sense." Gould tells readers that the change from simple to complex, from low to high in biology is not a universal law in nature. Describing "evolution" as a trend is a myth derived from anthropocentric deduction. He uses extremely simple and easy-to-understand examples to eloquently analyze the fallacies hidden in views prevalent in the scientific community and widely accepted by the general public, which is highly persuasive. If you think this is a pseudoscientific book that opposes Darwinian evolution and therefore discard it, you will miss a wise exploration of humanity. Readers who have studied evolution and firmly believed in it but still possess a young and open mind should read this book.
